Teachers and Administrative Staff
"I have been booking school assemblies for over 20 years, and I got more positive feedback about our One of a Kind assembly than any other show. Parents, students and teachers all reached out to express how much they appreciated the message, the performance and of course the singing and dancing. Excitement was so high that we are bringing them back for a 2nd year in a row!"

"Thank you for coming to Lake Forest Intermediate School. You truly excited our fourth and fifth graders with your music, dance and message. I received numerous comments from the teaching staff. Thank you for an amazing assembly that really made the students feel great! The assembly was super for self-esteem - it would be great any time of year. It was a wonderful way to conclude Youth Recognition Week. When I went out to the buses following the performance, the students were singing the words! Everyone was wearing a smile. I hope that we have the opportunity to invite you back again. Thanks again for your positive messages."

"On behalf of Elk Grove High School's students and staff, I wanted to sincerely thank you for your participation during Life Issues Week. Your presentation was excellent and provided important information to our students. In a follow-up evaluation this week your presentation was given high ratings with only positive comments from both students and staff. Thanks again for sharing a meaningful message and significantly contributing to our week's success."

"On behalf of our PTA, students and staff, I want to thank you for the energetic, entertaining and informative assembly you provided to our students. The children were most responsive as you could probably tell.
When you were here, I told you about a little girl named "Sabah" who has been with us since the beginning of Kindergarden (now its the end of her first grade year). During that time, she has never spoken one word to another child or adult. She doesn't smiile, or respond in any other way. We try to encourage basic physical responses, such as raising a hand, but even that has only limited sucess at best.
At the assembly, Sabah was on of the "volunteers" at the front of the room during the first program. We were thrilled to see her shake her hands slightly, turn around for the dance, and even smile (even though she then covered her mouth to hide it).
This is the most responsive we have ever seen her, and members of the staff were so excited to see her particitpation as much as she did.
This is just an example of one child whose life you appeared to touch. When you asked who would be returning on the 20th, she did raise her hand! Maybe this is the beginning of a new era for this little girl.
Again thank you! Your energy, positive messages, and role modeling served us very well, and we appreciate what you're doing on behalf of children."

"Your program today at Neubert Elementary School was FANTASTIC! Self-esteeem can sometimes be a difficult topic to get across to young students. Your energetic "hip-hop" personalities really motivated students. When we got back to our classroom one student commented, "Wow, those guys are cool and they taught us something important too!" That's an act a teacher would like to live up to every day. The hand movements and dance moves that go along with your messages were also a big hit! My students and I have been using them in our classroom to reinforce what you taught us. My class and I loved your performance. This is something I would like to see again for the kids. You have a very important message and a unique way of presenting it. You made many friends at Neubert School."

"We loved your singing and dancing. We liked how you told us about making good choices in a song. We liked your motto: STOP AND THINK BEFORE YOU ACT. YOU'LL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION AND THAT'S A FACT. We learned many things from your show. For example we learned: 1) Treat others the way we want to be treated. 2) Reading is a great thing to do. 3) Believe in yourself and you can do whatever you want. 4) Keep trying and never give up. 5) Make healthy choices everyday. 6) Ask mom, dad, friends, social workers, priests, minister, siblings, rabbis for help if you need help. Thank you for coming to West School. We had a great time. We hope you come again. "Happy trails you until we meet again!" Love, Mrs. Ross's class."

"Thank you for coming to our school! When you did the assembly, I felt proud of myself because I was finally able to like myself. Before that I always wanted to be cool and popular. I thought I was a nerd. But when you came you told me to like myself for who I am... It worked. So I really really want to thank you!"

"Thank you for teaching us about what to do about bullying. The most fun thing was when you play the chicken dance song. You guys are cool. Are you coming back to Hillcrest again?"

"Your presence at things like Snowflake and Snowflurry are just huge. It can be seen in everyone's eyes. Your heart and your message really shine through when you turn on the microphones and say the things that are in your hearts. It is so easy to see how strongly you believe in what you do. Like you said, the message is simple, but I think it is probably one of the best messages I have ever heard. You have a lot to say, and you say it, have fun, and captivate an audience all at the same time. I've seen you guys three times in the past two years, and everytime I think I know what to expect, but then you throw me for a loop, but still have that powerful message of self-love, self-respect and high expectations. It is truly a gift to do what you do and know that when you do it, people are listening. Just stop and look sometime during one of your events. Look at the eyes of one of those young students. They're not glazed over in boredon, but they are wide open with enthusiasm and meticulous attention to every word that you guys say. I hope you know that your messages reach beyond elementary school, jr. high, high school and college. I'm only a little freshman in college, but when I see you guys in action, I leave with such a positive feeling, that it is almost hard to contain. I have learned a great deal from the two of you and have learned about myself, and how important it is to love yourself."

"I learned to like myself how I am. And to keep on trying and trying and trying until you get what you want. And the big word of the day is resilient. And thank you for the assembly. P.S. Pride was taller."
